When was the first lettered machine - like "typewriter" invented and by whom?

In 1575 an Italian printmaker, Francesco Rampazzetto, invented the 'scrittura tattile', a machine to impress letters in papers.

In 1714, Henry Mill obtained a patent in Britain for a machine that, from the patent, appears to have been similar to a typewriter. The patent shows that this machine was actually created: "[he] hath by his great study and pains & expense (sic) invented and brought to perfection an artificial machine or method for impressing or transcribing of letters, one after another, as in writing, whereby all writing whatsoever may be engrossed in paper or parchment so neat and exact as not to be distinguished from print...".

In 1802 Italian Agostino Fantoni developed a particular typewriter to enable his blind sister to write.

In 1808 Italian Pellegrino Turri invented a typewriter. He also invented carbon paper to provide the ink for his machine.

Historically, however, the first ever attempt at a typewriter was with the invention by Francesco Rampazzetto.
